The most common reason one has forehead furrows (lines on the forehead) is that they want or need to lift up their eyebrows and/or eyelids. If one treats the forehead, they will be unable to lift the eyebrows and, if one has heavy eyelids, the eyelids can feel heavy. This is the most common unwanted effect that I see in my office when Botox is performed by other providers. So, if you have heavy eyelids and eyebrows, be careful as Botox treatment of the forehead may not be for you and should only be done by a provider who is very experienced in treated those with heavy eyelids.

Botox works excellent for improving the appearance of forehead lines by temporarily causing cessation of the muscle action of the frontalis resulting in relaxation of the overlying skin creases. If you are consistently treated every 3-4 months you will be less likely to develop deep forehead wrinkles later in life.

You're absolutely a candidate for Botox, especially given your description of overactive forehead muscles creating lines that last after the expression is over. Having Botox now could help prevent these lines from becoming permanent!

If you already have forehead lines at 21, you are old enough for Botox injections to soften the lines and prevent them from deepening. You should be treated by an experienced injector and start with a lose dose, see how you respond, and more can always be added later if needed.
